Hackers Are Hijacking Phone Numbers And Breaking Into Email, Bank Accounts: How To Protect Yourself(A Forbes Article)

With phone number and social engineering(in which a hacker doesn’t need technical knowledge but just to convince a customer service rep that they are you, a maliciously intentioned person can break into all accounts.

They starts by getting some readily available information about you like address, number, birthday or last four of your Social Security Number and giving some combination of them and a plausible story to a telco customer service rep who then lets them into your account where they then proceed to have your phone number forwarded to their phone or “ported” to another carrier and the hacker’s device.then they just go to email provider and login your account and hit forgot password and then reset codes are sent to their phone. They use it to Blackmail people, taking over social media and embarrassing their targets, or getting access to private documents and made off with millions of dollars’ worth of crypto currency.

Ways to prevent phone Hijacking -1.)Institute a passcode on the account 2.)Use a mobile-carrier-specific email address to access that account. 3.). Disable online access to your wireless account. 4.)Tell your carrier you’d like to require that changes to your account can be made only in person with photo ID. 5.) Use Google voice to receive text and codes there.

Ways to protect your accounts:- 1.)Create “high entropy” passwords. 2.)Not to answer security questions truthfully or the same across all sites. 3.)Do not connect your main phone number to any sensitive accounts. 4.)Use one-time passcode generators. 5.)Use a device that uses biometric authentication. 6.) Use security keys.

These steps may seem time-consuming, they can be accomplished in a few days and can save you the huge hassle, headache and potential losses of having your phone hijacked, your email account compromised, or your financial accounts and other sensitive information hacked.

In conclusion, I think the article is very useful in educating people about dangers of hacking and shows ways in which one can protect there personal information and loss of potential data and money. But not all hackers are evil, some are really helpful to the society, are good coders and help in making internet clean for people like us. So question for the class would be '' what the think about hacking - is it good or evil? ''
